Please note:

All questions regarding the interpretation of regulatory texts should be directed to government staff.

These advisories should not be viewed as official NASM interpretations of regulatory texts.

NASM and the other three arts accrediting associations — NASAD, NAST, and NASD — are autonomous specialized accrediting agencies. They are recognized by the U.S. Department of Education; however, the accrediting associations themselves are not governmental agencies.

To the best knowledge of staff, the information provided in these advisories is current as of February 2016.
